The Quantum Internet; Charting the Critical Path

Workshop Dates: June 21-23, 2018
Location: University of Toronto
Organizing committee: Paul Brumer, Amr S. Helmy, Daniel James,  
Hoi-Kwong Lo, Norbert Lutkenhaus, William Munro, Li Qian, Aephraim  
Steinberg

Scope:
The scope of this workshop encompasses many of the most pressing  
issues that must be addressed to help define what The Quantum Internet  
can be, and what are the critical milestones required for its  
inception. There are many transformational opportunities that motivate  
investing in significant research which realizes physical processes  
and hence systems that can empower quantum nodes that are linked by  
quantum channels. The solutions to address these issues include  
emerging technologies of quantum devices and components, novel device  
concepts to help transition some of the existing quantum functions  
from the lab into the field, as well as new approaches in the fields  
of encryption, control and signal processing.

The conference will run for 3 days, and will involve a mix of Keynote  
talks, and posters, interspersed with coffee breaks and discussion  
panels. The meeting will involve researchers at all stages of their  
careers, including participation by graduate students; some  
fellowships will be made available to help defray students' travel  
expenses.
